Blackbird

I’m not going to lie to you. I raised an eyebrow at this when I heard about it, but now I see that a headphone rack on your case would actually be quite handy. The only impractical thing about this particular one is that it only fits on HP’s Blackbird. That’s one way to limit your market; the Blackbird doesn’t appear to be on sale any more, and HP invites you to call… Read More

The Voodoo booth was an orgy of exposed PCB, flashy accessories, and some guy with dreds up in a topknot.
